[答案]
本文是篇说明文。文章介绍了美国人在赴宴时以及宴席上应遵循的礼节与习俗。
1．A。由第一段首句“Every country has its own dining customs.”后面的解释可以推测，成为有礼貌的客人的第一准则是准时赴宴。
2．B。根据逻辑，请人吃饭，主人自然希望客人能准时到。本题最容易错选D，但hope其后不能接不定式作宾语补足语。
3．A。主人希望客人能准时到或至多延后几分钟。
4．C。根据上下文之间的关系可知，此处表示结果，所以用so that引导结果状语从句。
5．C。根据“the hot rolls and the coffee and the meat can be at their best when the guests come”可推测，如果客人来晚了，食物味道就没有那么“好”。
6．D。根据上文内容以及逻辑可知，女主人会对此感到“失望”。
7．A。根据语境可知这里是表示假设情况。
8．A。根据习惯用法，在时间点前面应用介词at。
9．C。根据后文内容可知，客人带哪种东西取决于当时的情况。
10．D。根据常识，客人给主人一束鲜花表示客人对主人的感激，所以用sign，意为“标志”。
11．B。根据常识及后面的内容可知此处应用men。
12．B。根据下文“and continue to stand until she is seated”可知，这里应用动词stand。
13．D。前后文是转折关系，所以用however。
14．C。根据语法知识，这是个定语从句，先行词“most young people and some groups of elder people”在从句中作主语，所以关系代词用who或that。
15．D。be sensitive to表示“对……敏感”。
16．A。根据文章中心意思及常识可知，这里应选A。
17．B。然而，有些美国人已不再这样做了。no longer“不再”。
18．B。根据本句中表示并列关系的and以及与the连用，故选same。
19．C。“under way”意为“在进行中”，所以用while表示“当……的时候”。
20．D。根据句意可知，这样做就有可能避免尴尬。
